External Plastering Guide By a Dublin Plastering Experts – Hession Plastering Ltd.
Step 1 Surface Preparation
- All the mortar joints must be rough, for good bonding to plaster.
- Clean all the joints and surfaces of the wall with a wire brush – no oil or grease etc. should be left on wall surface.
- Smooth or plastered surface? Rake out the mortar joint to a depth of at least 12 mm
- Projection on the wall surface is more than 12 mm? Knock it off, for a uniform wall surface.
- Cavities or holes on the surface? Fill in advance (with the appropriate material)
- Get it ready – roughen the entire wall to be plastered.
- Wash the mortar joints and entire wall and keep it wet for at least 6 hours before applying cement plaster.
Step 2 Plaster Preparation
- Get a uniform thickness of plastering throughout the wall surface by fixing dots (patch of plaster 15 mm * 15 mm * 10mm) on the wall.
- The dots are fixed on the wall horizontally first, then vertically (at a distance of about 2 meters).
- Use a plumb to ensure that the dots are vertically aligned.
- Apply vertical strips of plaster (screeds) between the dots.
- Apply the screeds to serve as gauges for maintaining even thickness for next application of plaster.
Step 3 Render Coat Application
- Note: A brick masonry plaster coat is generally 12 mm, concrete masonry thickness varies from 9 to 15 mm.
- Note 2: The ratio of cement and sand for the first coat of plaster varies from 1:3 to 1:6.
- Apply the first coat of plaster between the screeds on the wall surface using a clean trowel.
- Use wooden floats to level the surface and wooden straight edges.
- Let this coat set but not dry.
- Roughen the coat with a scratching tool to form a key to the second coat of plaster.
Step 4 Finishing Coat Application
- Note: The thickness of the second coat (finishing coat) may vary between 2 to 3 mm.
- Note 2: The ratio of cement and sand for second coat plaster can vary from 1:4 to 1:6.
- Prepare the first coat by damping evenly.
- Use wooden floats to get a true even surface and use a steel trowel to give it a finishing touch.
- Note 3: The finishing coat should be applied from the top towards bottom.
- Note 4: Try to complete each coat application in one operation to eliminate joining marks.
